Can gambling Ever Be a sustainable income source or just Entertainment.

[Sonia_123]

Many people believe that they can survive through gambling and make it their source main source of income, the truth is that gambling doesn't guarantee steady income because the outcome most times depend on luck and probability, casinos and betting platform design the games in way that it will favour the house in the long run, this shows that even if gamblers win today, they still have high chances of losing later, because of this, many people see gambling as entertainment, something that one can do for fun with the money  one can afford to loss, and when one begin to depend on gambling to pay bills, feed family, or to survive, the pressure can make the person take more dangerous risks, chase losses, and end up losing more money.

NOTE: anyone that depend on gambling as their main source of income will face risk, depression, frustration and financial losses, there's no professional gamblers, just have deep knowledge and accept that losses are going to happen sometimes.

Gambling is just for entertainment and will always remain like that, those gamblers that feels they can make steady income from gambling are not truthful to themselves  because wins does not come often.

It is only casinos owners we can say makes their livelihood from gambling as a business as a source of income, gamblers depends on luck to win their games, except those gamblers that consistently wins their games which is very rare.

It is natural that gambling will cause harm, no gambler can win continuously. Therefore, those who enter the game of gambling to earn money basically lose a lot of money from gambling and eventually become addicted. Enjoying the pleasure of gambling is the right thing to do. Those who gamble for fun are the ones who can survive for a long time. But those who enter the game of gambling mainly to earn money are the ones who end up losing a lot of money and even leaving their families. Therefore, it is most important to adopt strategies in gambling, those who can use the right strategies can mainly stay away from some signs of addiction from gambling.

Gambling cannot sustain us and therefore we should not start what we cannot finish, if we want to gamble and enjoy our life and also be able to meet up with some challenges, then we must try to either get a job or invest and do something that could bring in an income, what most people don't understand about gambling is that, it takes away money from US instead of bringing additional ones.

Gambling for entertainment and not a sustainable income so people should not involve deeper in gambling because the risks to get addicted will be there and big chance. If they want a sustainable income source, they should search for a job which can gives them an income. They can still play gambling in their free time but always limiting their money and time avoiding the problems. Gambling can takes away money from us especially if we lose control and don't remember about limitation.

Your skill will make you feel like you are winning based on the little wins that come from time to time, but when you calm down and check the record of the games that you have been losing in the long run, it's always been the house winning against you; only a few lucky people have been able to be in profit.

I'm quite sure that every addicted gamblers were people that gambled to get rich and if they were not lucky enough to achieve their dreams of winning life changing amounts they will keep chasing loses until they reach addiction point. Also most people that gambles as a source of income will use their wins to reinvest in gambling and we know how most of them ends up, they will lose everything back to the casino. It is not easy to beat the casino, they are the house and they have the edge over us players, when you are lucky to win you should know that many have lost and you can be among them another time. It is best to see gambling as entertainment, never depend on it to survive else you will end up in regret.

Sometimes I ask myself how people think of gambling as a way of getting stable income..  How can someone depend on something that is a game of probability.. it is more better off as just entertainment, and the moment someone starts depending on it to pay bills or survive, then there’s a problem..

Keeping it as something occasional and setting limit is the only healthy way to approach it. because once that discipline disappears, you can start chasing losses and before you know it the money is gone.

Most people fail to understand that gambling comes with so much uncertainty, and should not be seen as a main sources of income , imagine depending on gambling to pay your children's school fees , feeding , clothing , and other bills , you will end up addicted , frustrating, depressed, I just wish most people will change their mindset and sees it as entertainment, and also hope in the process they get a winning that will elevate their life , because it really surprises me to see most people solely depend on gambling, I could remember that year when a friends told me that SportyBet must give him a car ( venza precisely  ) his alway indoor playing , both his schools and feeding money alway goes to sporty till he got tired and stopped, them he became a schedule of himself, people should reduce their expectations on gambling.

That's apt. It's the reason we find those who solely depend on gambling for a living act in weird ways, especially in frustration. Their despicable character on display is the major reason society frowns at gambling. The belief is that anyone who gambles is likely to get addicted, lose their jobs eventually and end up that way. This is where education to dispel gambling addiction comes in.

Addressing the issue at hand. Nope, I don't believe gambling can be a sustained source of income for players, except for their owners.

You’re absolutely right, we really need to realize that there are better or more promising ways to make a living, just like working in real life or investing, rather than relying on gambling to support ourselves. To this day, I haven’t found anyone who has profited from gambling in the long run, perhaps some end up in the black, but those are people who gamble only occasionally and happen to be lucky, and they decide to stop right then and there, so the end result is a profit... perhaps only one in a million people have that kind of mindset.

There are so many ways we can make money but do many people chooses to see gambling as one of the most easiest way which is why we are having more gamblers in the gambling world. Gambling was never made to be profitable but due to so many easy to play games that are making gamblers to become profitable, that alone has been attracting more participants to choose gambling as a good alternative to make money.

99 out of 100 people won't succeed in making gambling a profession. There are just too many variables. A skillful poker player can make it as a pro and if they have a good sponsor. Even a sports bettor who becomes an expert in certain sports or leagues can earn money if they don't mind doing the research. I doubt anyone else will succeed long-term, especially not slot players.

House edge doesn't care about your skill level. The math always wins given enough time.

Your skill will make you feel like you are winning based on the little wins that come from time to time, but when you calm down and check the record of the games that you have been losing in the long run, it's always been the house winning against you; only a few lucky people have been able to be in profit.

Doesn't it feel good to win against the bookie without looking at your previous history of losing bets? The bookie never loses, what we keep chasing is chasing losses.

Those who are very lucky have to bet a lot first before they can get a big jackpot, if only a little money is bet then the bookie will not feel defeated, the point is not to fight the bookie because the owner of the gambling industry is designed for the owner's profit.

Nwada001 it's even funny to say someone has a skill in gambling just because they know the games to pick or they are good at some games, for those who has never hit the jackpot they should go back and do the maths they will confirm that the little wins they have record is nothing compared to what they have given to the house. The lucky winners must have invested so much before winning maybe a few of them can confirm this if they are here.

There is no chance of considering gambling as a reliable income. Gambling always goes on uncertainty. If someone starts considering gambling as income, then he will fall in disaster. Gambling is only a center of entertainment for everyone. People lose money but that loss cannot have much effect if he considers gambling as entertainment. Most of those who have considered gambling as an opportunity have lost money due to the negative effects of gambling. There are very few people who consider gambling as an opportunity for their income. There may be some who can earn money for a few days through gambling but it is not long-term. Some people get big winnings but later they have to lose more with that winnings. If you gamble with what you are ready to lose as entertainment, gambling will not have any negative effects in the long run.

I wish everyone can just take this advice seriously. We have people that are naturally gambling bless with ways to win and when they put their money, they make their money with ease but when it's your turn, you may win and you may never win. Accept it that's how gambling is going with you, not everyone is full of luck to make money from gambling, if you fail to accept this you will find it very difficult to adapt to gambling, you may even quit.

Some people are into gambling because of what other people are doing, they do think that because gambling is working for other people, when they try it the luck will be on their side, if you play what they play then that's understandable but the fact that you have your own way of gambling and you think it will work for you even though you have never did before, you are going to be disappointed, if you don't quit you may end up as addicted gambling person.

Everyone who gambles must know that gambling is a risky, because if you win once in gambling, then you will surely lose in the next bet, no one can give any guarantee of winning in gambling consistently, that means it is impossible to make sustainable income from gambling, I gamble only for entertainment purposes, even I do not expect to be able to pay electricity bill, gas bill or internet bill with profit from gambling, because there is no sure income here, even most of the time my budget is exceeded. If someone depends on gambling income to support his family, he will surely be under a lot of pressure, because it is not a job. At the end of the month, he will receive a fixed salary.

Actually in gambling we never know what will be our next wager result and that's why I also think that in gambling, there is never a stable way to win. At least I have never seen anyone in my life who has won consistently in gambling.

And the bigger issue here is that most of those who hold this kind of attitude towards gambling are addicted to gambling, and if they are addicted to gambling, people will try to logically turn gambling into a positive way in various ways to consider it as a source of income, where they normalize it as an earning source, but in reality, that is never possible.
